The Three Billy-Goats Gruff is a Norwegian folktale. The three goats all named Gruff cross the bridge with a troll underneath to get to the hill to get fat. The troll bothers each goat and says he will eat them until the goat tells the troll to wait for the next and larger goat. Finally the third and largest goat crosses the bridge and he crushes the troll. Then they all get fat on the hill.
The tale is told very simply but gets the story and the point across. This book is for very young children but can still be enjoyed by all. The predictable pattern language and the different voices of the troll and goats makes this a great read aloud book. The watercolor pictures are nicely done as well.
